Beautiful! Unfortunately, US society has so sexualized women's breasts that we'll never see such a touching and useful PSA here. Viva mommies and nurslings everywhere!

Beautifull!!! I loved the fact that there are not only babies, but also toddlers breastfeeding!

A proud mom of a 2year old, still breastfeeding!

@Jca2790 yeah right...whatever

I love the video & I can't believe the number of completely ignorant & uniformed comments about nursing. The current recommendation from the World Health Organization is to nurse until AT LEAST 24 months, and for as long as both mom & child want to. It is World Breastfeeding Week and the truth needs to be spread! Breastfeeding is the biological norm there is nothing weird about it, to think so is very sad.

@Mellissagirlful Increase sexual arousal? It's comforting to them and increases milk flow. It makes you let down faster, and baby knows that.

Beautiful - if only all people could see how beautiful, normal & life-enriching this is for Mum & baby xxx

Fabulous Add!!!!very Natural and beautiful

and I don't think women should be able to breast-feed anywhere they want and not feel they need to cover it up!!! as this is why women have breasts there not just for sexual reasons!!!!!!!!!

@enithhernandez feel free to do whatever you want but IN PRIVATE PLEASE.

It's annoying when an unrespectful mum breastfeeds her child in front of everyone, specially in front of other children. I used to cover myself when bfreastfeeding my baby, or do it in designated areas, not in front of everyone.

It's just a matter of respect.I respect your decision and you should respect others decisions too. I can't see why my 2year-old daughter must be exposed to something I didn't decide for her.

This is such a beautiful video. I wish that they would show breastfeeding promotion videos like this around where I live.

[enithhernandez]

@Mellissagirlful I think that if that's the case then that IS weird. My son does it and it's rather annoying.

@mlleisla breastfeeding a toddler is normal and natural, this is called FULL TERM breastfeeding. USA has one twisted definition of breastfeeding, and yes, it is still nutritional! :) It kills more than 50 cancer cells and keeps children at bay of infections and diseases such as chicken pox, measles, and many other childhood illnesses. It's a complete nutritional food, all vitamins included and FREE.

How old is the girl at 0:45? I just think there's an age where you mothers do more harm than good in continuing to brest feed.
